Keywords: Araneida, nomenclature, genus group taxa, new names, synonymy. 



During the worldwide Projects of the Cesa on the Lepidoptera, the authors interested in the 
nomenclature of not only the Lepidopteran groups, but also other Insects and Arthropods. Within the 
frame of these surveys, the following homonymous names among the Araneid families are found. 
According to the current ICZN homonymy rules; they cannot be used as valid. Therefore, the following 
replacement names in the genus group taxa in various families of the Spiders are proposed due to the 
homonymy. Most of the new names are dedicated to the original authors of the preoccupied names, due 
to their worldwide and valuable taxonomical publications. New combinations in the species group taxa

and their distributions are also added. Besides, two junior objective synonyms in the family Linyphiidae 
are proposed.

Nomenclatural Notes in the genus group taxa of Acarina

Abstract: Nomenclatural notes in the genus group taxa of Acarina. Cent. ent. Stud, Misc. Pap. 

139-140:4-5. 

In this paper, following 4 replacement names are proposed: Tanzanycha nom. nov., Mahunkana 

nom. nov., Brazilobates nom. nov., and Afroppia nom. nov. A new name Brazilobatidae nom. 

nov. for family group taxon, is established. Validity of Protoripoda (s.str.) Balogh, 1970 and 

Baloghates Ozdikmen,2008 is discussed. 

Keywords: Acarina, nomenclature, genus group taxa, new names. 



During the worldwide Projects of the Cesa on the Lepidoptera, the authors interested in the nomenclature 
of not only the Lepidopteran groups, but also other Insects and Arthropods. Within the frame of these 
surveys, the following junior homonymous generic names in the Acarina families Galumnidae, Eremulidae, 
Oppiidae, Pterohatidae, and Scheloribatidae were found. According to the current ICZN homonymy rules; 
they cannot be used as valid.^ Therefore, the following replacement names in the genus group taxa in 
various families are proposed due to the homonymy. New combinations in the genus Protoripoda 
Balogh, 1970^ are also added.

Baloghates Ozdikmen,2008 

pro Calobates Balogh, 1961 nee Calobates Kaup, 1829 

Ozdikmen (2008)^^ proposed a replacement name due to the homonymy for Calobates Balogh, 1961 (nee 
Calobates Kaup, 1829). He summaried the necessary nomenclatural changes by giving the priority to newly 
established name Baloghates Ozdikmen,2008 over Protoripoda Balogh,1970 erroneously. As result of this 
mis- interpretation, Ozdikmen considered Baloghates Ozdikmen,2008 as the valid genus name, and 
Protoripoda Balogh, 1970 as subgenus of it. Below, the necessary changes concerning the priority are 
presented briefly.

Ephelis cruentalis^in Biyolojisi Hakkinda

Abstract: On the biology of Ephelis cruentalis fGeyer, [1832]) {Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). Cent. ent. Stud. 
Misc. Pap. 139-140: 6-10, 9 §ekil. 

In this paper, larval biology and food plant of Ephelis cruentalis are studied for the first time. The species is 
recorded in the following Turkish provinces for the first time: Bitlis, Hakkari, Kars, Muj, Siirt and §anliurfa. 
The plant Hypericum lysimachioides var. lysimachioides is presented here as the first record of larval food- 
plant of Ephelis cruentalis. This record is also the first one for the family Pyralidae in the Lepidoptera. Notes 
on the larval biology of the species are also supported by the photographs. Habitat and the food-plant are also 
illustrated. Distributional maps of Ephelis cruentalis in Turkey and in the World are also added. 
Key words: Lepidoptera, Pyralidae, fauna, ecology, food-plant, larva, pupa, Hypericum, Hypericaceae, 
Turkey.

Ephelis cruentalis turuniin larva besin bitkisi, larva ve pupa ozellikleri ilk defa bu faligmayla bilim 
dunyasina sunulmaktadir. 

Hypericum (Hypericaceae), tur fegitliligi oldukfa zengin olan bir cinstir. Otsu bitkilerden, fall ve 
kufiik agaflara kadar degi§en formlarda dunyada yakla§ik 400, Tiirkiye'de ise 69 civarinda tiiru 
bilinmektedir (Robson, [inJDavis, 1966). Bu arada Lepidoptera turlerinin onemli besin bitkilerini iferen bir 



cinstir. Hypericum lysimachioides var. lysimachioides, Lepidoptera literatiiriinde bugune kadar larva besin 
bitkisi olarak ilk defa tespit edilmi§tir. Ayrica Pyralidae familyasinda bir Hypericum turu ilk defa larva besin 
bitkisi olarak kaydedilmi§tir (bkz. dipnot). 

Ephelis cruentalis'm Malazgirt, Karincali koyundeki ya§am alani ve iizerinde bulundugu 
Hypericum lysimachioides bitkisi ilk defa resmedilmi§tir (§ekil 1,2).

Xylena Oc\\ser\\\e\rwzr in East Turkey with new provincial 
records and larval food-plants {Noctuidae, Lepidoptera) 

Muhabbet Kemal Halil Ozkol Lokman Kayci 



Abstract: Xylena Ochsenheimer in East Turkey with new provincial records and larval food-plants 
(Noctuidae, Lepidoptera). Cent. ent. Stud. Misc. Pap. 139-140: 10-14, 12 figs. 

The gemxs Xylena Ochs. is represented by 3 species in Turkey. In this short paper, two new provincial records 
for the species Xylena exsoleta Linnaeus, and X. lunifera Warren are given. Besides two new larval food- 
plants for the species Xylena exsoleta Linnaeus, Rheum ribes (Polygalaceae), and Euphorbia sp. 
(Euphorbiaceae) are mentioned. Distributional maps for the three species are given. Separately, the habitat, 
larva, pre-pupa, pupa, adult, and food-plants ofXylena exsoleta are illustrated. 
Key Words: Xylena, Noctuidae, Lepidoptera, distribution, fauna, larval food-plants. 



In 2007, the authors visited Erek Mountain (Van) and found two nearly full grown caterpillars of 
Xylena exsoleta (Linn.) at 2200m, near Samaf village. The food-plants of these two specimens are 
determinated as Rheum ribes (Polygalaceae), and Euphorbia sp. {Euphorbiaceae). According to the database 
of the larval foodplants of the Lepidoptera of the British Museum (London),'^ the families Polygalaceae and 
Euphorbiaceae, including the plant species Rheum ribes and Euphorbia sp. have not been recorded so far. 
Therefore, these records are considered as being new larval food-plants for the species, Xylena exsoleta 
(Linn.). All the species of the gcrnxs Xylena Ochs. recorded in Turkey are presented below briefly:

Synonyms. Xylena Ochsenheimer,1816; J(>'/;te5R.L.,1817; ^(yftwa Treitschke,1826; Calocampa Stephens,1829

(Alliaceae); Anthriscus sylvestris (Apiaceae); Asparagus (Asparagaceae) ; Beta vulgaris, Spinacia oleracea (Chenopodiaceae) ; Brassica rapa, 
Hesperis matronalis (Brassicaceae); Caltha palustris (Ranunculaceae) ; Carduus, Leucanthemum vulgare, Taraxacum officinale (Asteraceae);

Nomenclatural Notes in the genus group taxa of Homoptera 



Ahmet 6. Ko^ak Muhabbet Kemal 



Abstract: Nomenclatural notes in the genus group taxa of Homoptera. Cent. ent. Stud., Misc. Pap. 

139-140: 15. 

In this paper, following two replacement names in the family Delphacidae are proposed: 

Mahmutkashgaria nom. nov., Nazugumia nom. nov. 

Keywords: Homoptera, Delphacidae, nomenclature, genus group taxa, new names. 



During the worldwide Projects of the Cesa on the Lepidoptera, the authors interested in the 
nomenclature of not only the Lepidopteran groups, but also other Insects and Arthropods. Within the frame 
of these surveys, the following junior homonymous generic names in the Delphacidae (Homoptera) were 
found. According to the current ICZN homonymy rules; they cannot be used as valid. '^ Therefore, the 
following replacement names in the genus group taxa in various families are proposed due to the 
homonymy. 



Delphacidae 

Mahmutkashgaria nom. nov 

pro Sulculus Ding & Chen, 2002 (Acta ent. sinica 45 (2): 226) nee Sulculus Adams, 1854 (Gen. Mollusca 1: 

443). Range: East Asia. 

This replacement name is dedicated to Mahmut Kashgari, lexicographer and Uighurian Philosoph for the 

1000. Anniversary of his birth.'"* 

Nazugumia nom. nov. 

pro Crispina Kuoh,1982 (Acta zootaxon. sinica 7 (1): 81) nee Crispina Distant,1918 (Fauna Br. India, 

Rhynchota 7: 76 {Hemiptera). Range: East Asia.
